Central Medience Co., Ltd. announced the termination of its capital and business alliance with OptiM Co., Ltd., originally disclosed on May 15, 2025, effective March 31, 2026.

Central Medience Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Ryutaro Nakagawa; hereinafter "the Company"), which operates a total support business for medical institutions including matching medical professionals, wholesaling medical supplies, and management support, announced today, March 31, 2026 (Tuesday), that it has terminated the capital and business alliance with OptiM Co., Ltd. (Tokyo Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Shunji Sugaya; hereinafter "OptiM"), which was announced on May 15, 2025.
In conjunction with this, the 330 million yen corporate bonds issued in relation to the alliance have also been fully redeemed as of today. This matter is expected to have a minor impact on the Company's financial condition and future business operations, and will not significantly affect its financial base.
### 1. Background to this review
The Company has extensively explored possibilities for collaboration with external partners to enhance management support and operational support for medical institutions.
As part of this, we proceeded with a capital and business alliance with OptiM. However, after carefully reviewing the discussions, examinations, and progress since the alliance began, we have come to recognize that, given the recent rapid development of generative AI and changes in the technological environment, a self-led decision-making and business promotion system is more appropriate than a promotion system reliant on external parties to provide more rapid and effective support to medical institutions.
Therefore, the Company has judged that the rationality of continuing this alliance at this time is limited, and has decided to terminate it as of today by mutual agreement.
### 2. Our basic policy
The Company's policy is to respond appropriately and in a timely manner to the necessity of continuing capital and business alliances, outsourcing agreements, corporate bond underwriting, and other transactional relationships, without being bound by form or past circumstances, based on their concrete usefulness, effectiveness, and feasibility for hospital management support. We will make management decisions based on whether they lead to concrete value provision for client medical institutions.
Moving forward, we will comprehensively consider the business growth of our group, the value provided to client medical institutions, and capital efficiency, and will prioritize initiatives that contribute to maximizing the value provided to medical institutions.
### 3. Future policies
The Company group will continue to strengthen back-office support required by medical institutions as professionals in hospital management support. Currently, we provide various services that support hospital operations, such as medical material provision, human resource support, finance, and cleaning services, to over 900 medical institutions nationwide.
We will further strengthen these support functions in the future and contribute to the sustainable and stable operation of medical institutions under the philosophy of "Never Stop Healthcare."
